Some kind of hint?

With out this commit, if the bios lists bogus io-apic's, then we willsee some error messages ("Unable to reset IRR for apic")during linuxboot which are benign. But as this patch breaks Xen, I am ok if thesedon't get applied to 'stable'. Also I think it is Ingo who added the'stable' tag. Ingo, are you ok with this?

For the mainline, we have queued more patches to fix the Xen breakage.
